The Arizona Coyotes have never made the playoffs. The Phoenix Coyotes never won a Stanley Cup, and the NHL’s Winnipeg Jets never won a Stanley Cup, either… but while a part of the WHA, this particular Jets/Coyotes franchise was arguably the most successful team in the league. From 1972-1979, the Jets won the Avco World Trophy three times -- doing it in only four years, nonetheless. Given that all three wins came after the last time the Leafs won the Stanley Cup, they totally count.

The Chronicles of Stanley is a weekly series this summer that tracks the Chicago Blackhawks as they each get their special alone time with the Stanley Cup.

There have been plenty of NHL players have celebrated along with siblings also in the league who may not been as fortunate on the ice. Those poor siblings have to celebrate their brother’s accomplishment all while hiding their envy and staying as far away as possible from the Stanley Cup.

Two Staal brothers, Eric and Jordan, have won Cups. Did Marc and Jared just stay on the other side of the house while everyone else partied? For James van Riemsdyk, he was part of brother Trevor’s day with the Cup this past week, but kept his distance from the trophy.

Matt Nieto, San Jose Sharks forward, famous team DJ and member of the Galactic Empire.

View the above amazing custom "Star Wars" Clone Trooper that Nieto bought for himself from Factory Xtreme, a store based next to Disneyland in Anaheim. Nieto is living in Anaheim for the summer.

Sadly, Nieto has not seen any of the "Star Wars" films. But he was more drawn to the coolness of the figurine.

“I’ve collected hockey dolls since I was a kid and I went out to lunch the other day and walked past the store and saw these Storm Trooper dolls and Clone Trooper dolls with players on them,” Nieto said in a phone interview with Puck Daddy. “So I kind of just walked into the store and said, ‘Where can you get these?’ And the guy said ‘I actually make them myself.’ I asked if he could make one for me and he did.”

According to Paul from the store, Nieto’s custom-made model ran about $400, so you don’t have to break the bank to join the Dark Side apparently.

Anaheim Arena was the original name of the Ducks home ice, seen above when it was brand spankin' new in 1993. Arrowhead Water seized the opportunity to buy the naming rights of the new facility and thus the Arrowhead Pond of Anahiem, or simply, The Pond, was born.

In 2006, after the Samuelis assumed control of the team from Disney, the rights were bought by Honda and the arena was renamed, again, this time to Honda Center. Some who yearn for the good old days call the barn 'Ponda Center.'

All day we waited to find out how much Marcus Johansson would make in his new contract. We waited, and waited to hear how an arbitrator ruled off a Wednesday hearing

Instead, we found late Friday the Washington Capitals re-signed the forward to a one-year $3.75 million contract. Such would be a per-year raise for the forward, who made $4 million over two years in his last contract.

The 2009 first-round pick was a restricted free agent. Last season he had 47 points in 82 games.

The first thing to note is that Johansson has scored goals at 5-on-5 like a second-line forward over the course of his career. While Johansson has seemed overly deferential offensively when playing with Ovechkin and Backstrom, he's been effective away from them.

In the grand scheme of things, a second-line forward scoring 20 goals is pretty normal.

Shea Weber is a four-time NHL All-Star who has finished top-eight in the Norris voting six times in his 10-year career. He is very, very good.

But the question of how much longer that will be the case has some in Nashville wondering whether he's in decline, and has others elsewhere, including our own Josh Cooper, advocating for a trade. Weber has been the face of the Predators for so long at this point that such a scenario seems impossible. Seeing Weber on another team would feel somehow wrong, given that he's been with the Predators since there was a salary cap.

Montreal Canadiens forward Alex Galchenyuk wasn’t looking for long-term security in negotiations for his new two-year, $5.6 million contract. In some ways, it seemed like he was going for the Subban model – taking a short-term bridge deal to eventually sign for greater riches when he’s more established.
